Charlotte, N.C-based Proffitt Dixon Partners will be breaking ground in March on its first Nashville project, the 249-unit Fountains at Germantown, reported the Nashville Post. The developer recently closed on the 2.4-acre project site, paying $4.5 million. The seller was R.D. Herbert & Sons Roofing and Sheet Metal Co., which will move from Germantown to West Nashville, spurred by growing investor interest in the dynamic Nashville neighborhood, according to the Nashvillle Post. The development team will also include local architects Smith Gee Studio and Civil Site Design Group as civil engineers and landscaping architects

With construction kicking off in March, Proffitt Dixon expects the community to open in summer 2016, The Tennesseanreports. The community will comprise studio, one- and two-bedroom apartment renting from $1,200 to $1,700 per month. Amenities will include a fitness center, pool and high-end club/lounge.
